Hey there! We are slowly waking up from our post PAX/GDC coma's and have been busy working on some exciting new stuff that I want to talk to you about. First of all, thanks so much to all of you who have bought the game so far. It's really humbling to hear you are having fun with it. Of course, the main reason we chose to go on Early Access, was to get it into players hands and hear what they have to say about it. Positive things are always nice, but it's the negative things we really want to hear. We've been sifting through a tonne of feedback and it's really interesting to hear about things that we thought were obvious and awesome, that turned out not so to others. For instance, nobody seems to enjoy fighting Zombies or Nibblers as the only real strategy to defeat them is to hit them while running away. With that, let me give you an overview about what's coming in the new few updates. We'll give you plenty of notice when Updates #2 and #3 are coming. Update #1 - Balancing & Bug fixes (Coming next week!) Our focus for this update is to tighten up certain aspects of the game and squish many of the bugs that have been encountered since launch. Here's a taster for what's in store -

• Redesigned Zombie and Nibbler attacks to better facilitate gameplay
• Slightly shorter, tighter levels (until we get challenge rooms in there!)
• More feedback on pickups, floating combat text and environmental props such as previously searched bushes and trees
• Some skullcaps will be tuned and have more feedback
• Smashable ROCKS
• And lots more!

Update #2 - Local Co-op A heavily requested feature - you'll be able to play FranknJohn with a friend or foe. Update #3 - New Area! The Furnace of Anger The red hot gates of the Furnace will open. The Furnace is full of Dr.Harmin's slave creations, working tireously to provide power to his immense mansion. They don't take too kindly to being disturbed from their work. Polish those reflexes, as razor sharp blades, spinning saws and pulverizing pistons, sewn into the flesh of these angry monstrosities will make quick work of you. I hope this gives you a nice idea of what's in the pipeline - if you have any questions or comments at all, drop them below! Best, Paul and team
